The AIF Project database lists 120 members of the AIF who gave Wyalong as their
address upon enlistment. Of those, 15 were killed in action, 4 died of wounds, and
2 died of disease. Those who gave West Wyalong as their address numbered 192, of
whom 31 were killed in action, 4 died of wounds, and 2 died of disease. Four men
who enlisted gave Ungarie, an outlying village, as their address: one was killed
in action, and three returned to Australia. From Barmedman, 66 men enlisted in
the AIF: 11 were killed in action and 3 died of wounds.

The figures quoted above reflect those who gave Wyalong, West Wyalong or Barmedeman
as their address or the address of their next of kin. It does not include those who
gave outlying villages/townships as their address. Hence there is some discrepancy
between these figures and the names listed on the Memorial Hall panels.

Listed below are some soldiers from West Wyalong. Click on their names to view

Durrington Cemetery, Wiltshire,
England, is north-west of Durrington Village.
The cemetery, which contains 252 war graves (of which 141 are Australian), is
a general cemetery controlled by the Parish. Most of the war graves are those of
soldiers connected with the nearby Larkhill Camp. The Australian graves are to the
right of a wall inscribed with the words "Their Name Liveth For Evermore".

Analysis of the records suggests that approximately 3,000 men
born in Ireland enlisted for service in the AIF. (An indeterminate
number - probably many more - born in Australia of Irish families -
also enlisted.) In Northern Ireland there are a number of local war
memorials that record such enlistments, eg Ballycastle, Co. Antrim
(Photos 123),
where there is also the Anzac Bar (Photo),
established by J DELARGY, who served with the British Army. Shankill
Cemetery, Lurgan, Co. Armagh (Photos 12).
